Virtual Queerantine
May 12, 2020—Vancouver, BC: It can be socially isolating to be Indigenous and queer, and in the time of COVID-19 these feelings of isolation can be compounded. This series was developed with the support of the Tegan and Sara Foundation to provide a venue for connection. Join us online!
8 SESSIONS:
May 20th, 27th, June 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 30th, and July 7th
7:00 – 8:30 PM PST on Zoom
This series is geared to Indigenous youth who identify as 2SLGBTQQIPAA+ and their allies between the ages of 14 and 30. Our events are inclusive of non-binary participants.
• Meet new friends and connect online with others
• Have fun and feel uplifted during this socially isolating time
• Learn tools to navigate your coming out journey
• Strengthen our resilience against prejudice and discrimination
We hope that you will be able to attend all 8 sessions as the goal is to strengthen connection and build community during this isolating time of COVID. However, we also know that may not be possible for everyone.
MAY 20 On being Indigiqueer: A coming out story.

JUNE 30 Oracle Card Making: Oracle cards are a divination tool that can help us explore our dreams and give us direction, through deep or simple day to day questions. In this session we will activate our creativity and lean into our queerness as a place of power and deep knowing. No experience necessary.
